PR Newswire

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ELLO; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today reported the publication in Israel of financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4%.

On November 30, 2016, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd.) (the "Luzon Group"), an Israeli public company that currently holds 50% of U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Dori Energy"), which, in turn, holds 18.75% of Dorad, published its quarterly report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory requirements, the quarterly report of the Luzon Group includes the financial statements of Dorad for the same period.

The financial results of Dori Energy and of Dorad for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its share of these results in its financial results for this period. In an effort to provide Ellomay's shareholders with access to Dorad's financial results (which were published in Hebrew), Ellomay hereby provides a convenience translation of Dorad's financial results.

Dorad's financial statements include a reference to a hearing scheduled for December 2016 by the Israeli Public Utilities Authority – Electricity (the "Electricity Authority") concerning possible changes in tariffs, including possible reductions in the electricity production tariff. The Electricity production tariff is used by Dorad as the basis for the price charged for the electricity it provides and is the basis for changes in the price of natural gas purchased by Dorad and used by it for the production of energy. Subject to the outcome of this hearing, the Electricity Authority may reduce the electricity production tariff by 8%. As previously published, the natural gas price paid by Dorad to its natural gas supplier has already reached its minimum price in accordance with the gas supply agreement executed by Dorad and will therefore not be further reduced following the potential reduction in the electricity production tariff. Dorad states in its financial statements that it believes the reduction of the electricity production tariff will have a material adverse impact on its cash flows, its profits and on its coverage ratios and that from the beginning of 2017 it may not be able to meet the coverage ratios determined by its lenders for distributions to its shareholders. However, Dorad emphasizes in the financial statements that it does not anticipate that it will fail to meet the required coverage ratios in a manner that will constitute a default under its agreements with its lenders.

Dorad Financial Highlights

  • Dorad's unaudited revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 - approximately NIS 613 million (or approximately USD 163 million, based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2016).
  • Dorad's unaudited operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2016 - approximately NIS 114 million (or approximately USD 30 million, based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2016).

Based on the information provided by Dorad, the demand for electricity by Dorad's customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing in that season. The months of the year are split into three seasons as follows: the summer season – the months of July and August; the winter season - the months of December, January and February; and intermediate seasons – (spring and autumn), the months from March to June and from September to November. There is a higher hourly demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and the average electricity consumption per hour is higher in these seasons than in the intermediate seasons and is even characterized by peak demands due to extreme climate conditions of heat or cold. In addition, Dorad's revenues are affected by the change in load and time tariffs - TAOZ (an electricity tariff that varies across seasons and across the day in accordance with demand hour clusters), as, on average, TAOZ tariffs are higher in the summer season than in the intermediate and winter seasons. Therefore, the results presented, which include the summer and intermediate months of July to September are not indicative of full year results.

A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and as of and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 is included at the end of this press release. Ellomay does not undertake to separately report Dorad's financial results in a press release in the future. Neither Ellomay nor its independent public accountants have reviewed or consulted with the Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd., Dori Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
